Changing Sprite in Script

Unity Engine
1

I have an object (TestObj) and I want to change its sprite from sprite1 to sprite2 when it’s clicked on. How would I code that in C#?

2

Place both sprites in the gameobject and then turn them on/off as needed with SetActive();

I’m not entirely sure how to do that.

You want to do this?

 	public Sprite sprite1, sprite2; // Sprites
	private SpriteRenderer spriteRenderer;

	void Start () {
		spriteRenderer = gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer> ();
	}

	void OnMouseDown () {
		if (spriteRenderer.sprite == sprite1) {
			spriteRenderer.sprite = sprite2;
		} else {
			spriteRenderer.sprite = sprite1;
		}
	}

Create a new game object.
Drag your sprites into that gameobject in the hierarchy.

Create a script along these lines:

public class ClickToChange : MonoBehaviour {

	public GameObject sprite_1;
	public GameObject sprite_2;

	void Awake()
	{
		// just to ensure a clean start.
		sprite_1.SetActive(true);
		sprite_2.SetActive(false);
	}

	void OnMouseDown()
	{
		sprite_2.SetActive(!sprite_2.activeSelf);
		sprite_1.SetActive(!sprite_1.activeSelf);
	}
}

You can then place your script and collider on that game object, and the add the references in the inspector.

Not very fancy, but will do the trick.

Cheers.
